Off to the top of my head, Barnes toe snapping off while jogging. Burn's broken back. Anderson's broken back. Murphy's shoulder popping out (twice). Pope's shoulder popping out. And now Wilson's chest snapping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabbe2 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 minutes ago, Interpolic said: Who would you have played instead? Dead interested. Should have brought in an attacking player for the summer of 2023. With CL matches, the match coverage for Wilson and Isak, who are made of glass, becomes completely impossible. But the choice fell on Hall, obviously who has barely played 20 minutes. Wrong prioritization is my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Got to be moved on in summer with his injury record. Grest servant but with Isak's problems we really need someone who can play more game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 35 minutes ago, Doctor Zaius said: He wont go anywhere this summer. Nobody is going to pay money for a 32 year old striker who can barely stay fit for a run of games. Nobody is going to give him a two year contract thatll even match his one years worth of wages here. He's done well to get to 32 with his injuries really. We need another striker next season like, especially if we do make Europe. Wilson will be third choice for the last year of his contract where he'll hopefully be able to have an impact in the odd game/off the bench. His fitness cant be relied on for anything more. Could see someone like Brentford taking a punt once Toney goes. £15-18m or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 He needs to play in the Saudi retirement league and get a nice final contract with warm weather to prevent his body evaporating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 14 minutes ago, Krabbe2 said: Both Isak and Wilson should get away if they want to continue their careers. In Newcastle they don't have time to recover 100% before Howe drives them to pieces. Ah, there it is. Greatest hits track 1. Looking forward to the well known B side "I don't know why the training staff let him bulk up so much. He probably weakened his pec while bench pressing."

The College Dropout Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 26 minutes ago, 80 said: In fairness, there were people screaming at the idea of moving him on last summer. I was one of them.

Agree, but we are in the same position again, this time let's not make the same mistake. No more contract extensions, either sell if someone will actually offer some sort of a reasonable fee, or just use him as and when necesessary during his last 12 months here.

Krabbe2 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 3 minutes ago, Interpolic said: What's that got to do with what you originally said, that Howe "drives them to pieces?" Lack of alternative. Isak has looked like he's been carrying an injury ever since he got here, unfortunately. He also never gets the opportunity to get fully 100% healthy either, as Wilson is then in a wheelchair.

The Prophet Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 12 minutes ago, TRon said: It's more about getting in the right mindset that players have a shelf life. As it stands, looks like we won't be able to fetch much of a fee for Wlson anyway as he would have needed to finish this season fit and firing to drum up interest. Right now no one would want to pay a significant fee for him, and in the summer he'll be entering the last year of his contract. Might just end up keeping him here and hoping he stays fit for enough of that final season. Aye, the idea is good and it sounds like the senior management get it, but being in a position to do it is a different matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 23 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Name the 3rd striker for City, Arsenal, Villa, Man U, Spurs The point is that Wilson is too unreliable to be one of only two. If you carry a player with his injury history, a replacement is necessary Also, these teams have wide players and attacking midfielders more suited to the striker position if needed. They have more quality in those positions overall, actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong prioritization is my opinion. Whoever is in charge of our recruitment probably needs replacing. Hall - no idea why we signed him Barnes - Good player, but Gordon is our best LW, Joelinton/Willock, Anderson can play there. Tonali - Bad luck, maybe not the right profile of player though? Livra - Good signing, but should still be playing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
